Aside from its famous Hundred Islands National Park, the local government is also strongly promoting its oysters to encourage eco-friendly mariculture projects that will provide additional livelihood to the marginalized fisherfolks here. Gilbert Rabadon, aquaculturist from the City Agriculture Office, said Alaminos produces the best talaba in Pangasinan grown in the coastal barangays of Baleydaan, Mona, Pangapisan and Cayucay. Rabadon, the focal person for the city’s oyster development program, said they give materials needed for culture like bamboo, rope and empty oyster shells.
